  • Cannot Open PDF in Safari

    Can someone please help.
    I cannot open PDF files through Safari. I've read some of the other comments on the same/similar issue and I have tried those steps and have been unsuccessful. I still cannot view PDF files through Safari, in fact, the Preview doesn't even open. When it worked the preview icon would pop up in the tool bar at the bottom of my Mac Book, but it no longer does that. Here is what I've tried;
    Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
    Removed Adobe from applications and deleted.
    Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
    Went to internet preferences and un clicked enable plug ins.
    Not quite sure what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

    Hi Roxana ..
    Which Mac OS X do you have installed and which version of Safari ??
    Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
    You do if you want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files.
    Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
    There are two libraries. One is root  /Library
    The other denotes your Home folder   ~/Library  (the Tilde character represents your Home folder)
    Go to  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    If you see the Adobe PDF browser plugin or just PDF Browser plugin, move that to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.

  • Cannot open pdf with IE/ windows 7.

    Dear friends, and those who understand better than I.  I have been working on this situation for over a week.  I cannot open pdf from the browser.  I tried the "patch " as discussed in a different forum, but still only get the link to open in a seperate white blank page.  Any ideas?  I dont mind going back to an older version other than 10.1.2. I just dont know how to do that either, as I have not had to work this in depth with any software for years.

    Thanks for responding to this matter.  When I double click the link to open the pdf... a new tab opens with a blank screen.  It is white.  When I try to refresh, nothing happens.  I have also tried to save/download the file, and open it through that way.  When asked to save the document "pdf" is not available.  Only "all files."  However when I try to retrieve it, it says download is not available, as in... it did not download or save. 
    1.  All web browser options are selected.  I have already tried to uncheck, one, and all of these boxes.  Still the same results. 
    2.  I have tried several URL... All of the documents I have tried to retrieve have been within a secured website, such as salliemae.com (trying to view a 1098 for my student loan), and mycheckfree.com (trying to view bills from ComED and Nicor Gas). 
    If I open an old pdf on my computer... I can still read that.   
    Thank you for your time and help.  Im so frustrated, and missing deadlines!

  • Cannot open gmail with safari

    Hi,
    I am experiencing a problem with Safari, since it does not open my Gmail account. It does not work at all, I cannot open them....I read many comments and forums already, so I see it is any issue for many others.
    I already reset Safari, Emptied cache, tried Gmail in html format but the problem still persists, no solutions were found yet.
    I have May OSX 10.6.8, Intel Core 2 Duo (software updates do not work in my case since the memory is not big enough)
    The current version of Safari on my mac: 5.1.10
    Any idea how I could fix this issue?
    Thanks a lot.

    If you are on Snow Leopard as your info implies - switch to another web browser -- I am using Opera, others are using Firefox.
    Google no longer supports older browsers -- Apple no longer updates snow leopard.
    Others option is to update apple os -- before doing so - check to see that your printers, etc are supported for that release -- reason I am still at Snow leopard - any later and its generic driver or no driver for printer and scanner --- the hidden cost of free.

  • Cannot open hotmail with safari

    When I try to open outlook in safari only ablank page comes up.
    I have no issues with Firefox or other browsers

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • Cannot open pdfs  with adobe. receive message "adobe reader cannot open fild because it's either not

    message states "adobe reader cannot open "resume, ;wps because it's either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)

    Microsoft Word Viewer should be able to view .wps files; most likely the installation of the viewer will fix the file association.

  • Cannot open PDF with CS2

    When trying to open some PDF's with CS2 I get an error "Could not complete your request because of a program error". I can, however open sokme PDF's but not others and I can open multi page PDF's with no problems. I cannot pin point when it happens. It just happens on some but not on others.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Appreciate your answer.
    I thought so too. I uninstalled and reinstalled PDF but that did not help.
    It happens with files that are faxed to send2fax.com and I get them as PDF's (or Tiffs. Tiffs work fine).  Strange thing is that when I have a two page faxes I can open them.I though may be a photoshop file was corrupted...?
    I went through older files and I can open some buy not others. I can't find a pattern.
    If I create a file in Photoshop and save it as a PDF I have no problem.
    If I scan a file and save as PDF i have no problem either.
    May be it's send2fax.com?

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Cannot open pdf file with Firefox 11.0

    Firefox automatically upgrades the version I am using. Since it was recently upgraded I cannot open pdf files. Am faced with a blank page. I went through some of the suggestions on these pages and when I opened the Tools window, there is a warning:
    Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X is incompatible with Firefox 11!
    Is there a way around it? Or is it time to say goodbye to Firefox and move to Safari?

    When Firefox updates, it turns
    off add-ons that are not
    compatible with the new
    version. In addition, add-ons
    that may have been
    automatically installed by other
    programs without your
    knowledge (third party add-
    ons) have been disabled. For
    more info about re-enabling
    add-ons, see the link below.

  • I cannot open pdf files in safari.  It tells me first character is invalid.  I have deleted plug-ins and reinstalled program.  HELP

    cannot open PDF files in safari.  It tells me first character is invalid - I have deleted plug-ins and reinstalled the program.

    HI..
    If you are using Adobe Reader ...
    Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
    Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well >  Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    Then reinstall >  http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working

    Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working

    Which Operating system you are using?
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] and then try to open the file.

  • Cannot open pdf files with Firefox's built-in pdf viewer

    This just started (I think) with Firefox 37.01. This is on Win7-X64. I cannot open pdf files with the Firefox built-in pdf viewer. If I click on the file or try to open it from within Firefox, it brings up a "opening filename.pdf" message. If I select the "Open with" radio button as 'Firefox (default),' it just keeps looping on this process; it never opens. In Tools => Options => Applications, Portable Document Format (PDF) is indicated as 'Preview in Firefox.' I've never had any other PDF viewer installed on this computer. I've tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, but it still doesn't work. I searched for solutions but haven't found any for this specific issue.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello,
    Have you tried, to start Firefox in safemode you can do so by following these steps
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.
